School fights happen between two people that don’t like each other. Normally, those who don’t like each other it is because they had a messy past. I’ve seen that most fights are between girls. These fights happen because they simply don’t like each other, or they do It for fun. Nowadays, it isn’t common to talk things out. Instead, people become physically aggressive, which makes matters worse.
In this generation, school fights are normalized. There have been cases where students end up with severe injuries, which is one of the main reasons why I believe school fights are dangerous and is best preventing them. I also believe that school fights are unnecessary and that if you don’t like someone, just simply ignore or avoid them. Most of the time school fights may ruin your reputation not only in school but also outside of school by having a criminal record.
Fighting does affect your future. In some cases, you’re not able to get a scholarship. In other cases, when they see your criminal record, they misinterpret the kind of person that you are just because of a past mistake. I believe that your future is in your own hands, and it depends on you whether you want to have a bright one or not. It is best to focus on yourself and avoid problematic situations.
School fights can also get you suspended which affects you a lot. The reason why I say that is because when you get back, you have to catch up with all your missing assignments. I’m a student that likes to turn in assignments on time, and I would feel stressed if I just returned from a school suspension and find myself with a pile of work.
I feel like if I was offered to include myself in a fight, I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to be in one. The first person that would come to my mind is my mom. My mom always gives me life advice, and I’d feel guilty not following her advice. I don’t have the bravery to be in a fight and go on with my day as if nothing happened. My mom and dad are the only people that give me advice and they both always tell me to not use physical aggression in any situations.
Students being publicly aggressive makes the school look irresponsible. What I’ve noticed about fights in Miami High is they don’t happen frequently. However, Shenandoah Middle School appeared in the news because of the constant and severe fights that were occurring. In the news neighbors were interviewed. One of the neighbors said that he had to stop one of the fights himself because the students were fighting next to his house. After police began patrolling around the park and school, these fights would happen secretly. I believe the students are responsible for all this inconvenience and they should at least pay the price of their consequences. I’ve always tried to keep to myself and avoid these types of situations.
I believe that to prevent these fights from happening, teachers should bring up the topic. Teachers should tell the students about the danger of these fights and give them advice. Teachers should also tell them about the consequences of being involved in a fight. For example, suspension, injuries, criminal charges, and expulsion. Parents should also advise their children to avoid getting involved in a fight. We students can also help a friend and tell them that fighting is wrong. Everything is up to the students’ decisions, and the only thing we can do is give them advice.
